Recommended for a day trip from Seoul: Suwon, South Korea

Suwon is about an hour away from Seoul by train or bus. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. It is famous as a filming location for the hit drama "Dae Jang Geum" (Jewel in the Palace). Unlike the royal palaces in Seoul, Suwon Hwaseong offers a unique glimpse into the Joseon Dynasty era, allowing visitors to experience the atmosphere of the time. Walk along the fortress walls like a guard or explore the palace grounds like a court lady. On weekends, there are events such as guard-changing ceremonies and traditional dances. Be sure to check the latest information. And don't forget to try Suwon's famous dish, Suwon Galbi (grilled ribs).
